HE DIDN'T ESCAPE.
Jesse POmerOy's Futile Attempt to
Regain His Liberty.

Special TO the Globe
BoSToN, Aug. 2S.-Jesse Pomeroy.
the boy murderer, made another des-
perate attempt to escape from Charles
ton prison few nights ago. by saving
through the bars of his cell. As Pom
eroy repeatedly bOasted that the only
ambition Of his life was to kill the
keepers and escape, he has been kept
closely imprisoned in sol
itary cell. His only visitor has been
his mother. who calls once in two
months. The cell was made of large
blocks OF granite, into which were sunk
steel bars and gratings of unusual
strength. Last Friday night Keeper
Winslow, while waiting to be relieved,
leaned accidentally against the grating
of the window which opens from the
corridor opposite Pomeroy's cell and
into the prison yard. TO Winslow's
amazement the great inch and a half
bars yielded. lie pressed his hand

SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. 2S.-A circular,
signed by the committee, James Braden
and f. l.. Johnson, of Superior. and
Francis b. Riggs, of New York, was
issued yesterday and submitted to all
who owner property within the limits
of the tract wanted by the Minnesota
Railroad and Navigation company. The
company proposes to acquire, by pur-
chase or otherwise, the lands lying be-
tween Robertson and McBain avenues,
in Superior, and convert the winding
river and adjacent bottoms into
straight basin or harbOr 600 feet wide,
paralleled by docks of miles in extent,
affOrding railway and navigation facili-
ties. The object now is to obtain from
the owners Of the lands required options
Cor the purchase of the same for length
of time sufficient to enable President
Stickney to ascertain whether the
money can be obtained to carry out the
plan proposed. This is a Minnesota &
Northwestern project, President Stick
ney being the prime mover. Senator
DCCh
of Arkansas, are members of the com
pany. The circular says:
An air line from ST. Paul to Superior is 132
miles. The st. Paul d Duluth is 156 miles,
and the Chicago. st. Paul, Minneapolis d
Omaha railway is 167 miles long between
those cities. Mr.. Stickney expects to secure
a line in not exceeding 135 miles, with low
grades, by which the time between St Paul
and Superior may easily be made in four
hours run. The steamship lines will enable
delivery of freight between st. Paul and
Buffalo in shorter time than by present all
rliIlines. The prospective benefits are too
great and certain for property owners to hes
itate about giving the options. The road is
sure to be built to some point ON Lake Supe-
Nor, and as Superior has the first chance of
its terminus, now is the time for prompt
action on the part of owners. If the town
should lose this chance and rival secure it.
all hope of great future might as well be
abandoned.
The general feeling among property
owners here is that the desired options
will be given without delay, providing
the proper assurances are made that
the road will be built as agreed in this
circular.

A Fish Story.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The Sunday
Capitol to-day, in commenting on the
appointment of Prof. Baird's successor,
says: ''The appointment of Solicitor
McCue as United States fish commits
siOner instead of Maj. f. B. Ferguson,
who wanted the place. means that there
is to be a thorough investigation of the
way i'll which the money appropriated
for the fish business is and has been ex-
pended. The late Prof. Baird was not
sharp business man and did not keep
very close watch upon the ways Of
some of his surbordinates. Heretofore
there have been some strange things
done in other departments of scientific
work for the government, and perhaps
the fish commission when INQUIRED
into, may have some unwritten history"

Tried to Burn the Town.

Special TO the GlODe.
New YORK, Aug. 2S.-At least a
dozen attempts have been made within
a year and a half to burn up the pretty
suburban town of Plainfield. \. j. To
night seven respectable men were ar
rested for arson, and revealed con-
Spiracy to destroy the place. simply to
create public demand for night watch
men. There is no police protection
at night, and one or two men have
been paid by private subscription to
keep watch on the town. To increase
the squad and give apparent force for
the necessity of it, efforts have been
made to burn half the handsome houses
in the village. Late Sunday night a
man called at Carey's grocery for kerO-
sine oil and was followed for an hour,
when he stopped before fine house
owned by Mr.. Nelson, at pres
ent in Europe with his family.
He arranged his kindling and, just
as he struck a match, Detectives
drew pistols at him and shouted ''Hands
up" When captured he confessed and
gave the names of six accOmpliceS, who
were also arrested. One of them is
member of the volunteer fire depart
ment. A paper was found i'll their
possession givinga listOf houses doomed
to destruction. 1t is believed others in
the place are implicated.

against them and two bars
fell out to the pavement below. By
testing the bars it. was found that
enough of them had been sawed through
to admit the passage of mans body.
They were held in place by gelatine,
colored by bits of steel filings. so that it
could not be detected; Pomeroy was
at once searched, and two steel saws
were found secreted in the lining of his
jacket. He was furious at the dis
covery. and declared if he had
had time to saw one more bar he would
have killed the watchman and made his
escape. The prison officials believe
PomerOy's aged mother supplied him
with the saws apd arranged the details
of his escape. Pomeroy has been busy
with the attempt for year or more. He
is the fiend who eleven years ago fero-
ciouSly hacked twelve-year-old Katie
Curran to death, burying her body in

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-NOw that the gov
ernment'S majority has dwindled to sew
enty-eight, and all signs point to re-
turn to power of the GladStone-P Parnell
alliance, attention is again directe to
the question of an Irish parliament. A
great deal of discussion may be looked
for during the next few months as to
what is the best form of such body,
for Gladstonian victory means home
rule, and home rule almost certainly
implies Dublin parliament sooner or
later, whatever makeShiftS and SubSti-
tuteS may intervene. Gavan Duffy is
already in the field with scheme for a
parliament in College Green. He con-
tributes to the September number of the
Contemporary Review the outline of a
plan for a house of commons and a SEN
ate. The house is to be composed of 105
MEMBERS sand the senate of fifty-four.
The appointment of the judiciary is to
be upon the lines laid down in Mr.. Glad
stones measure in the last parliament.
Mr.. Duffy intimates that Mr.. Gladstone
is open to conviction upon the question
of having Irish representation at West
minister in addition to the local parlia-
ment. 1t is known that Mr.. Gladstone
was willing to make concessions on this
point toward the close of the last seS-
sion.

Trafalgar square, which has been the
scene of so many tumultuOuS gather
ingS, was invaded last night by very
respectable and orderly crowd to attend
a Liberal union league meeting. There
was plenty of enthusiasm to take the
place of the excitement customary at
Nelson monument meetings. Four
platforms were provided for speakers,
and were utilized by ten members of
the house of commons, including
MeSSrS. Co ybeare, Nolan and other
good speakers, who denounced the
proclamation OF. the Irish National
league. This was the inaugural meet
ing of a series, which will be held
throughout England for a similar pur-
pose. Every reference of the speakers
to Mr.. Chamberlain was greeted with
groans and shouts of The Crummagem
turn-coat." 1t is very evident that
Joseph is not wanted by the Liberals,
and indeed he is not regarded as very
valuable adjunct of any party just now.

WOULD WITHDRAW.
Canadian Knights to Secede From
the General Assembly.


Special TO the Globe.
TORONTO, Ont, Aug. 2S.-RumOrs
have been current for some time past
that Canadian Knights of Labor in
tended to secede from the general as
sembly, chiefly because of dissatisfac-
ton at the payment of money for legis-
latiOn in the United States. which is of
no benefit to them. Besides they have
no representation Oh the executive
board of the general assembly. An
other reason is that in case of strikes
the general assembly has not been as
willing to aid them as they would de-
sire. District Assembly No. 125 has
decided to call convention of the order
in Canada TO consider the adviSability
of taking steps to secure the autonomy
of the order in Canada, without in any
way impairing the connection with the
general assembly, and committee has
been appointed to make arrangements
for the convention. The convention
will be held, probably, about the end of
next month, at the same time as the
trades demonstration here.
